We can
never deny that since the discovery of HIV AIDS, society has condemned people
having found out being positive with it. Individuals who have AIDS and HIV will
get likely depressed, angered and deny about it and will sulk because of being
oppressed. But if you were in their shoes, you’ll realize that support, compassion
and unconditional love from groups and people close to them is what they need
in order to still live as ‘normal’ individuals.

So,
what’s behind all of these stigma and discrimination about HIV and AIDS? There
are number of factors why people fear about it apart from any other STDs or sexually transmitted diseases and infections. In fact, the disease itself has
huge impact and a challenge in health and medicine sector.

Listed
below are the factors considered why the disease is stigmatized and
discriminated:

HIV or human immunodeficiency virus is a notorious and deadly
disease that has instilled great fear to people all over the globe.

People get paranoid from engaging in casual contact
with individuals positive of HIV like using the same utensils, touching a
toilet seat, etc., much more if they are being near with the infected person.

Behaviors associated with acquiring the disease such as
drug IV users and men having sex with men or having multiple sexual partners
doing unprotected sex.

Some people who have little knowledge about the disease
and its nature have believed that acquiring the disease is also the person’s
fault. They believed it’s the result of moral weakness and irresponsibility and
they deserve to be ostracized and punished.

The discrimination and stigma kindle fire with the
epidemic. This leads to HIV and AIDS positive people to prevent themselves from
being honestly open about their condition to their families, friends and
special someone. They are afraid of being rejected and further give them
worries about the confidentiality when they undergo tests.

An individual is denied access to medical care and can
be treated differently

Denied to any services and even jobs

Denied from fostering a child or adopt and even child
custody

Experiences harassments e.g. job interview

Confidentiality at risk most especially when status is
revealed in any institution like school, work or even in health care setting

With
all of these things then, how can an HIV positive individual cope up with
everything? Are their hopes totally lost?

Coping up with Discrimination and Stigma

This
is quite hard although people who are positive with it had a hard time about
opening up most especially to their families and support groups. One thing for
sure that may be easy is to open up with a group of people who understands and whom
can definitely trust. In fact, in this modern time, there has been a growing
number of support groups established to render warm and friendly environment
for people who are positive of HIV/AIDS.

ultimate pleasure without the risks…
